Abstract. In this paper, we will introduce a new kind of isomorphism theorem (we call it the reducing theorem) for asymptotic Teichmüller spaces. Our isomorphism theorem is induced by (conformal) 2-surgery operations along simple closed loops on surfaces, and yields several interesting and pathological phenomena on the structures of asymptotic Teichmüller spaces.
